Korvauksensa

Korvauksensa is a Finnish noun form derived from korvaus, meaning compensation or indemnity. It is used to refer to the amount of compensation belonging to or claimed by someone. As a possessive form, korvauksensa signals that the compensation in question is associated with a specific person or entity; the exact possessor is inferred from context.

Grammar and usage: In Finnish, possessive suffixes attach to the possessed noun. Korvauksensa uses the third-person possessive suffix -nsä/-sä, and can indicate his, her, its, or their compensation depending on who is referred to. In many sentences, the possessor is clear from the surrounding text, and the pronoun is not stated separately. The form is common in legal, insurance, and contractual writing where ownership or entitlement to a payment must be specified.

Contexts and examples: The term appears in civil, insurance, and administrative language. It may occur in phrases where the owner of the compensation is being identified, such as discussions of damages or settlements. A typical example is: “Hänen korvauksensa oli suurempi kuin odotettu,” meaning “Her compensation was larger than expected.” Related terms include korvaus (compensation), vahingonkorvaus (damages), and korvausvaatimus (claim for damages). The word functions chiefly as a grammatical vehicle to express possession, rather than as a separate lexical item with a fixed independent meaning.
